Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2097: Thousand Inscription Sacred Sword!

Since Wyatt Barnes had already planned to impersonate ’Bruce’, he naturally had to consider everything carefully.

For this reason, after confirming that the group of loose cultivators behind him were too far away to see his actions clearly, Wyatt began to operate and display the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’.

Of course, he did not exert it to its full potential.

Even so, centered around Wyatt’s body, a faint vortex appeared.

The vortex moved with his body, and as he passed, he absorbed a significant amount of the spiritual energy in the air.

In the blink of an eye, Wyatt’s Holy Power surged to a level comparable to that of a ’Heavenly Saint Realm’s peak Holy Power’.

And the increase did not stop, continuing to rise even further...

Meanwhile, the distance between Wyatt Barnes and Stephen James also diminished significantly.

"Wait, something’s wrong! You... you’re not ’Bruce’!!"

The group of loose cultivators in the distance couldn’t detect Wyatt’s use of the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’, but Stephen James, who was closest to him, clearly sensed it and noticed the strange increase in his Holy Power.

Almost simultaneously with Stephen speaking, Wyatt’s Solar Holy Power had already soared to a level comparable to the ’Saint Origin’ within a first transformation Saint Immortal.

The increase in Solar Holy Power stopped at this level.

"You realized it only now? Too late!"

At the same time, Wyatt responded in a cold tone.

Before the despairing Stephen could react, an overwhelming force surged out, like a giant beast pouncing towards Stephen.

Boom!!

Accompanied by a loud explosion, Stephen was engulfed by the force unleashed by Wyatt, as if swallowed whole by the gaping maw of a giant beast.

As the force dissipated, Stephen vanished completely into thin air.

Only a lone ’Storage Ring’ remained suspended in midair.

During this process, Wyatt had Elder Fire assist him in devouring the ’Innate Spiritual Root’ from Stephen’s soul, which hadn’t had time to dissipate after his death.

"Yellow Spiritual Root."

The next words from Elder Fire left Wyatt somewhat disappointed.

Stephen’s Innate Spiritual Root was merely a ’Yellow Spiritual Root’, and although Elder Fire mentioned it was a ’deep yellow’ Innate Spiritual Root, after the devouring, Wyatt’s Innate Spiritual Root still hadn’t transformed into a ’Blue Spiritual Root’.

Wyatt was naturally very disappointed by this.

"Your Innate Spiritual Root is now at a critical point, infinitely close to becoming a Blue Spiritual Root... From this moment on, even devouring just one Yellow Spiritual Root will be enough to help your Innate Spiritual Root finally transform into a ’Blue Spiritual Root’!"

These words from Elder Fire significantly eased the disappointment that had arisen in Wyatt’s heart.

"Oh well... it will transform into a ’Blue Spiritual Root’ soon enough, just a little slower than expected."

Wyatt consoled himself in his mind.

Coming back to his senses, Wyatt lifted his hand to retrieve the ’Storage Ring’ as a trophy, leaving only a swift departing figure for the chasing loose cultivators to see.

Shortly after, his figure too disappeared from the sight of the surrounding loose cultivators, as if he had never been there.

However, for the group of loose cultivators, it was impossible to act as if Wyatt never appeared...

Of course, they didn’t know Wyatt’s ’true identity’.

They only assumed that Wyatt was the Fire Worship Sect’s true disciple ’Bruce’, ranked ’second’ among the Fire Worship Sect’s current eight prodigies!

"Stephen... just died like that?"

Many loose cultivators were shocked and incredulous.

Earlier, though they were too far away to see the actions of the Fire Worship Sect’s true disciple, they clearly saw with their own eyes that only that Fire Worship Sect true disciple left.

Stephen was utterly gone, vanished without a trace.

"That Fire Worship Sect true disciple ’Bruce’ is too domineering! Doesn’t he know this is not the Fire Worship Sect, but Sin City, and Stephen’s Second Brother ’Edwin James’ could seek revenge at any moment?"

Some loose cultivators marveled at the audacity of the Fire Worship Sect true disciple ’Bruce’.

Indeed, taking down a loose cultivator alliance Vice Leader’s brother in Sin City, without certain ’confidence’, one wouldn’t dare act so boldly!

"That Bruce, since he dares to act like this in Sin City, must have his own ’backing’... I guess he probably came here with his master!"

"It’s possible! With his master around, even if the Alliance Leader of the Black Crow Alliance strikes... he can’t do anything to Bruce."

"If someone else died this way, I might feel a little sympathetic... But with Stephen being killed, I don’t only feel unsympathetic, but rather a bit gloating!"

"I feel the same... that Stephen, relying on his background with the Black Crow Alliance, as the younger brother of the Vice Alliance Leader ’Edwin James’, has killed many innocent people. This time, it’s truly evil got what it deserved!"

...

Among the group of loose cultivators present, no one pitied Stephen’s death, many even silently cheered for the Fire Worship Sect true disciple ’Bruce’.

Of course, they didn’t know:

The one who acted, the Fire Worship Sect true disciple ’Bruce’, was not the real Bruce, but the newly rising demonic genius ’Wyatt Barnes’ of the Fire Worship Sect, disguised as ’Bruce’.

Because Wyatt Barnes’ disguise techniques are superb, and he left no ’flaws’, the only person who knows the truth is destined to be Wyatt Barnes himself!

After killing Stephen James, Wyatt Barnes immediately left, then found a deserted place to change back into his purple robe.

At the same time, his face also twisted, altering back to its original appearance, which is the ’new face’ he adopted on a whim after arriving near Sin City.

Of course.

Now this face, although different from what he showed at the Fire Worship Sect and different from his original appearance, isn’t very different...

The same sword-shaped brows and starry eyes, equally handsome, distinguished, and impressive.

"That Black Crow Alliance wasn’t mentioned by Jack King of the Airebright City Loose Cultivator Alliance... It seems it should be similar to that Earth Axe Alliance, just a small loose cultivator alliance within Sin City."

The Black Crow Alliance wasn’t among the loose cultivator alliances Jack King had mentioned to Wyatt Barnes, hence his assumption.

"Find a tavern to sit, and further understand this ’Sin City’..."

With that thought, Wyatt Barnes flew out, heading toward the ’city center’ of Sin City, intending to find a bustling tavern to sit in and gather information.

"I wonder, why so many loose cultivators choose to settle in this crisis-ridden Sin City?!"

Wyatt Barnes always held doubts about this in his mind.

That day, Jack King, the Alliance Leader of Airebright City’s Loose Cultivator Alliance, teased about this issue, leaving Wyatt still curious about the ’answer’.

Meanwhile, as Wyatt Barnes searched for a tavern.

The Black Crow Alliance’s residence wasn’t calm either.

As a loose cultivator alliance within Sin City, although the Black Crow Alliance is small-sized and has average strength, it still holds a place in Sin City with its own residence.

Bam!!

Within the Black Crow Alliance’s residence, Vice Alliance Leader Edwin James was instantly enraged upon learning his younger brother ’Stephen James’ was killed, smashing the table in front of him into powder with a single hand.

"Who? Who exactly?!"

Edwin James glared at the communicator, his eyes filled with chilling light, like a bloodthirsty ’viper’.

No wonder Edwin James was so agitated.

In the past, Edwin James had three brothers, aside from the youngest ’Stephen James’, he had another elder brother and another younger brother.

The four were loose cultivators, always adventuring outside.

While adventuring, his eldest brother ’Jaden James’ and third brother ’Case’ died, leaving only him and fourth brother ’Stephen James’ to rely on each other.

Later, he arrived in Sin City and co-founded the ’Black Crow Alliance’, finally establishing a foothold.

He cherished his only remaining younger brother greatly.

But today, he was informed:

His only remaining younger brother, his fourth brother, was killed!

"It was... Fire Worship Sect’s true disciple ’Bruce’!"

Sensing Edwin James’ raging fury, the communicator quivered, responding with a trembling voice.

"Bruce?"

Upon hearing the communicator’s words, Edwin James’ pupils shrank involuntarily, then he asked gravely, "Are you sure the one who killed my brother is Fire Worship Sect’s ’Bruce’?"

Bruce, he certainly had heard of.

In terms of strength, Bruce, as a ’Saint Immortal Third Transformation’ expert, was far stronger than him!

Of course, that was in the past.

Half a month ago, Edwin James’ cultivation finally broke through to the ’Saint Immortal Third Transformation’, relying on various techniques and combat skills mastered at the edge of life and death as a loose cultivator.

He does not fear ’Bruce’!

He is even confident of defeating Bruce, even killing Bruce!

After all, Bruce is just a lower-ranked ’Saint Immortal Third Transformation’ expert, evident from his rank on the Extreme Saint Ranking.

What he dreads is not Bruce, but Bruce’s mentor:

Fire Worship Sect’s Gold Flame Elder!

Azure Dragon Altar Master!

The Black Crow Alliance’s residence was unsettled, and so was the Earth Axe Alliance’s residence...

"It was him... who killed our Earth Axe Alliance’s two members and took away the Storage Ring containing the ’Thousand Pattern Saint Sword’?"

Crushing the ’Parent-Child Image Symbol’s’ ’Parent Image Symbol’, the Earth Axe Alliance Leader saw a scene:

In the image, a handsome, exceptional purple-clad young man within a golden domain of countless swords killed two members of their Earth Axe Alliance.

He also took the ’Storage Ring’ from the two Earth Axe Alliance members!
